Know before you buy
This tray is spot clean only. Because it is crafted from delicate glass beads and a raffia base, avoid submerging it in water or using harsh chemical cleaners; simply wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth as needed.
The tray features a textured, hand-beaded surface. While it is stable enough to hold items, it is best suited for decorative displays or serving items with a flat bottom, such as a carafe or a small plate, rather than balancing multiple tall glasses.
The handles are integrated into the design for both aesthetic appeal and functionality. They are sturdy enough for carrying light items, though they are primarily designed as a decorative accent for your coffee table or kitchen island.
The tray is handmade in Rwanda using a raffia base, which provides a natural, durable foundation. The intricate white pattern is created by stitching glass beads onto the raffia using traditional heritage techniques.
The base is made of natural raffia, which provides a soft, textured grip on most surfaces. However, it does not have a dedicated rubberized non-slip backing, so it is best placed on stable, flat surfaces.
